But keep your eye on the ball. Uber was performing a test in which the safeties were off, in which they'd written pedestrians out of the ID software because they were getting spurious data, and in which they didn't properly instill a fear of dire consequences in their testing staff.

They're coming for this lady. Mark my words: Uber's going to figure out a way for this death to fall on the minimum-wage ex-felon, rather than a $48 billion company.
